Short tip: create screenshots under HP-UX

If you want to create a screenshot of your HP-UX system and don’t have GIMP installed, you can easily create a X dump using the xwd commandos. This X dump can be converted into a JPG file (or some other picture format) on another machine using XnView.

After executing the xwd command simply click on the window for the screenshot or mark a window range. After that the X dump is created.

# xwd -out /tmp/screen.xwd
# scp /tmp/screen.xwd user@host:path
